Paul Ryan ahead of Hillary Clinton in one race

Rep. Paul Ryan finished ahead of Hillary Clinton — at least on the newest New York Times Best Seller list.

The Wisconsin Republican’s newest book, “The Way Forward,” will debut at No. 5 on the nonfiction hardcover best-sellers list, one spot ahead of Clinton’s “Hard Choices,” according to an advance copy of the list provided to POLITICO.

Ryan’s publisher, Twelve — an imprint of Hachette Book Group — says Bookscan shows he has sold 6,266 copies of the book. That number does not capture all sales, and the publisher says approximately “12,000 units were sold” last week. The publisher said sales were impacted by the spat between Amazon and Hachette — the book was not available for pre-order.

Clinton’s book sold more than 85,000 copies in the first week — exponentially more than Ryan’s book.
